Business intelligence: Removing of Rules with dependencies
When deleting BI Rules, you have to delete the top level rule first, then the lower hierarchy rules.
If you have a lot of "verschachtelte" rules then this is a messy work :-)
As well if you mark both rules (top and lower hierarchy ones) the deletion of those does not work at all.
I would like to mark all rules (with dependencies) and delete them in one click.
It would be even okay if the system checks if the rule marked for deletion is dependent on another, and if the other rule is also marked for deletion - then delete them both.
Otherwise, just delete the top rule and push an information.

Markus MergedThere is a very nice feature in the rules. It is possible to display ineffective rules.
Whereas in the aggregations section it is difficult to find out if an aggregation is really used or not. It is more a try and error situation. Some kind of check to find out if an aggregation is in use or not would be very helpful. -

Sebastian Krahe AdminStatus changed to "Under consideration".
Additional user input received: An error message, analogous to the one for deleting a group that is still referenced in a rule. This is indispensable in larger or more complex environments. -
